Anyway I was sitting in my garden this afternoon playing with my camera (off to Menorca the week after next so I to improve) taking photos of my very disinterested cat when a red kite circled overhead. Like the pro I am I swung my camera upward only to find I was sitting under the rotary clothes airer! Somehow I didn't think that a photo of a kite through the various lines would be worth taking.

At that moment the kite flew off and I rolled backwards, quite literally, and clicked.

Attached is a 640*480 reduction of a 2000*1500 100% crop. You can see that it's not as sharp as it ought to be but considering everything I'm reasonably pleased. I mean, at least you can tell that it's a bird!:-)
